Wednesday 14 May 2014

The sun and the Pimms were both plentiful at the QIPCO Guineas Festival at Newmarket's Rowley Mile Racecourse. Top jockeys, trainers and owners mingled in the parade ring before each race, with Sheikh Fahad, Clare Balding and Sir Michael Stoute among those to see The Queen's runner Bold Sniper win third place in the Qatar Racing Suffolk Stakes. It was a shock win for jockey Kieran Fallon in the curtain raising Classic of the British Flat season, the QIPCO 2000 Guineas on Night Of Thunder, while Miss France won the QIPCO 1000 Guineas for fellow Frenchies jockey Maxime Guyon and trainer Andre Fabre.
